21 Thoughts on Certain College Courses as an Animal Science Major
Department of Animal Science - Iowa State University

Majoring in Animal Science can bring out quite a few mixed emotions in everyone. You learn which 200 level classes are the hardest, what teachers absolutely don't allow phones out and which humanities course will make your class load less stressful.

Half of the time you start to wonder why you chose Animal Science as a major because of all of the science courses. The other half of Animal Science you spend enjoying getting your hands dirty during the labs, in the end making Animal Science one of the best majors.

1. Microbiology 201

When you learn that you only get graded on quizzes and tests in lab.

2. AnS 226

When you find out you and your roommate (who has a beef background) are in the same class and expect it to be easy.

When you realize you both know absolutely nothing.

3. AnS 114

When the class is interesting but it's at 8am and you aren't a morning person.

4. Biology 211

Contemplating whether or not to switch your major because you realize that not only do you have lectures about three times a week, but there's also a three hour lab.

5. Biology 211 Lab

Being a freshman taking this course and getting stuck with that 7am lab.

6. Biology 212

Silently praying that your group doesn't get called on by Kukday to talk in front of the entire class of about 200 people.

7. Chemistry 177

Thoughts throughout lecture and recitation.

8. Chemistry 177 Lab

When you walk out on the last day of lab knowing you didn't fail.

9. Econ 101

Going through Aplia's homework.

10. AnS 225

When you finally get an A in college.

11. AnS 101

Feelings on having to know about every species.

12. AnS 110

Sitting in 110 lectures knowing the class is easy, but questioning why you need to go every week.

13. AnS 190

When you finally get the hands-on experience that you've been dying to do.

14. HDFS 276

When you thought taking human sexuality with your best friend was a good decision but realize you're both immature after spending every class giggling at every "dirty" word the professor says.

15. Philosophy

When you're expecting this class to be an easy A for humanities, but end up questioning your every thought.

16. AnS 214

When Selsby catches someone on their phone.

17. AnS 211

When you're obviously hard at work making your two tweets and finding an article about the Ag industry, definitely not on Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook.

18. Stats 101

Being honest about the amount of attention you have during class.

19. Stats 101 Lab

When the worksheet asks you to explain why you got a certain answer, even though you clearly got the numbers from the chart given.

20. BBMB 221

Not knowing how to take notes with your instructor but still attempting to pay attention.

21. Ag Eds 310

Realizing on the first day after everyone introducing themselves that only two out of about eighteen people are animal science majors.

Saying you're an animal science major to learn about agriculture but actually hoping you marry someone that wants to live in a small town or on a farm.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
